Prince Charles could finally become king... of ROMANIA, thanks to his ancestor Vlad the Impaler

Quote:

European newspapers claim Charles could be anointed should monarchy be restored

Quote:

Prince of Wales's ancestral links with Vlad the Impaler and King Michael cited as reasons

Quote:

Charles is passionate about the country and owns a holiday home in picturesque town of Viscri

Quote:

He is already the longest serving heir apparent in British history.
So if Prince Charles ever gets too bored of waiting to accede to the throne, then he might just be tempted to have himself crowned King Carol 111 instead.

Central European newspapers yesterday were alight with speculation that the Prince of Wales could be anointed the next King of Romania if the country’s monarchy is restored.

There is no need since there are no official royal families; second, is he getting bored with waiting around for the British Crown and wants to grub for the Romanian crown? What next, the Romanovs will be pushed to give up their position and hand headship over to the Windsors?

In the last 12 days all the newspapers and televisions spoke about this subject because many persons who are protesting (especially in Bucharest, Timisoara, Cluj or Sibiu) against president basescu ask for the Restoration of Monarchy. The political situation is too confused to know what will really happen.

The Royal Family should take advantage of this protest and be making a lot of public appearances and being out with the people, this seems like a good chance to restore the Monarchy!

Agreed. King Michael really seems to be a class act in every respect, and every country on the planet should be thrilled to have him and his devotion to others. He seems to have zero personal ambition, though (which makes him even more of an appealing leader in a lot of respects).

I'd guess not having the monarchy restored (yet) was perhaps an issue of just not being in Romania and leading the charge when Ceaucescu fell, but come on, Your Majesty--you deserve some kind of official recognition for all you've done for your contry, and you should be doing more to get it.

Didn't Montenegro give its royal family some kind of official role (and salary) recently? Didn't Afghanistan give its former king an honorary title like "Father of the Country"? King Michael at the least deserves something like that.
